Michigan grindcore/metalcore outfit See You Next Tuesday have officially withdrawn from the upcoming Oceano final shows tour. The band cites the most recent tour flyer design fiasco as the reason. 

Earlier in the week graphic designer Chris Gallien called Oceano vocalist Adam Warren out for using his flyer design, though slightly edited, after telling him his flyer did not make the cut. Warren tried to smooth things over by paying Gallien after the fact.

Earlier today, Oceano's social media has been wiped including all mention of the tour. We also reported that every band associated with the tour had also removed the flyer or any mention of the upcoming run. 

As of posting this, there has been no official word from Oceano or any other band on the  tour package. However, now with See You Next Tuesday dropping many are questioning if the final shows will happen. 

See You Next Tuesday shared the following message:

Half of See You Next Tuesday's members are visual artists and rely on art as their sole income. Given the current tour poster situation, it has presented a huge dilemma for us, challenging our morality and standards as artists. We stand against things like AI stealing art from hardworking artists for the profit of the less creative, with zero recognition to the original artists. This may seem like a minor problem to people outside of the art world, but it is seriously damaging to the livelihoods of artists who use their art to support themselves and their families. This situation between Oceano and the original artist of the tour poster, Chris Gallien, although a different type of situation, awkwardly aligns itself with the same reasons we despise AI.

In the end, we as a band have decided we are not comfortable with the current situation and will no longer be part of this tour.

We would like to apologize to everyone who worked on making the tour happen for us and anyone who was looking forward to seeing us live. Lastly, we hope a positive resolution can be reached between all other parties involved.
